Abstract

Who'll Give a Dam for Public Power?
Lyons, Barrow | September 12, 1953 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the power policy of Dwight David Eisenhower' administration. This policy will result in increase of electric power rates in the United States. The main reason behind these increments is government' s competition with Private power supplying companies like Tennessee Valley Authority and the Bonneville Power administration. It is expected that many electric cooperatives sponsored by the Rural Electrification Administration will be squeezed to the wall, that publicly owned municipal distribution systems will be hurt, that public-utility districts which have depended on low-cost government power will be in a tight spot. The ultimate results will be a slowing down of industrial expansion.
